Beautiful B&B in English country home style. Our stay felt like a luxurious treat. Breakfast was delicious. Owners super nice. We loved the short walk to the beautiful beach through the back door of the property. We wish we'd stayed longer at this lovely B&B, and also on Pillip Island. It's such a special, charming and amazing place.

We stayed at Genesta in Philip Island, where we went to celebrate Father's Day. We loved the facility for the cleanliness of its rooms, attentive staff, and proximity to Cowe Beach. They made us very happy with the little surprise they made for Father's Day. It was a place that I definitely recommend and we can't wait to go again.

Amazing and unique place to stay in a very peaceful residential area of Cowes, the main town of Phillip Island. Vanessa was a fantastic host and very welcoming. She allowed us to stay a little longer than checkout since no one else was arriving, which gave us more time to explore the beautiful island. Cereal, bread and milk were provided for breakfast, along with Vanessa's homemade jam. The bed was huge and comfy. Really wish we could have had more than one night.

Maggie's Place is hard to beat in terms of comfort and location. Love sitting on the balcony, watching the birds and enjoying the fresh air and warm sun. Judy is exceptional in her communication, organisation and attention to detail. Will continue to use Maggie's Place as my preferred place to stay on the island.
